Legal information
Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into account.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be used.Anoticewarningofinjurytopersonswithasafetyalertsymbolmayalsoincludeawarningrelatingtoproperty damage.
Qualified Personnel
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific task in accordance with the relevant documentation for the specific task, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions. Qualified personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and avoiding potential hazards when working with these products/systems.

Safety Information
2.2Safety instructions for third-party antennas as well as for modifications to the RF600 system
Always observe the following general safety instructions before selecting a component from a different vendor:
Themanufactureracceptsnoresponsibilityforfunctionalsuitabilityorlegalimplicationsforthe installation of third-party components.
NOTICE
Loss of radio equipment approvals
Alterations to the SIMATIC RF600 devices themselves are not permitted. Failure to observe this requirement shall constitute a revocation of the CE, FCC, UL, CSA radio equipment approvals and the manufacturer's warranty.
Modifications to the SIMATIC RF600 system
CAUTION
Damage to the system
If you install unsuitable or unapproved extensions, you may damage the system or violate the safety requirements and regulations for radio frequency interference suppression. Contact your technical support team or where you purchased your device to find out which system extensions may safely be installed.
CAUTION
Loss of warranty
If you cause defects on the SIMATIC RF600 system by improperly installing or exchanging system expansions, the warranty becomes void.
NOTICE
Loss of validity for type tests and certificates
SIMATIC RFID products comply with the salient safety specifications to VDE/DIN, IEC, EN, UL and CSA. When using RFID components which do not belong to the RF600 range of products, the validity of all type tests as well as all certificates relevant to the RF600 are canceled: CE, FCC, UL, CSA.

Note
User responsibility for modified product
As a user of the modified product, you accept responsibility for use of the complete RFID product comprising both SIMATIC RF600 components and third-party RFID components. This particularly applies to modification or replacement of:
●Antennas
●Antenna cables
●readers
●Power supply units with connection cables
2.3Safety distance to transmitter antenna
For antenna configurations where it is possible to be briefly or constantly within the transmission range of the antennas, as in loading ramps, for example, minimum distances must be maintained.
Limits
The ICRP (International Commission of Radiological Protection) has worked out limit values for human exposure to HF fields that are also recommended by the ICNIRP (International Commission of Non Ionizing Radiological Protection). In German legislation on emissions (since 1997), the following limit values apply. These can vary according to frequency:
Frequency f [MHz] |
Electrical field strength E [V/m] |
Magnetic field strength H [A/m] |
10 - 400 |
27,5 |
0,073 |
400 - 2.000 |
1.375 x f1/2 |
0.0037 x f1/2 |
2.000 - 300.000 |
61 |
0,16 |
The limit values for the 900 MHz reader antenna alternating field are thus:
Electrical field strength: E = 41.25 V/m
Magnetic field strength: H = 0.111 A/m
HF power density: E x H = 4.57 W/m2

2.3 Safety distance to transmitter antenna
Minimum distance to antenna in accordance with ETSI (EU, EFTA, Turkey)
At a transmission frequency of 900 MHz, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave λ is approximately 0.34 m. For distances less than 1 λ in the near field, the electrical field strength diminishes exponentially to the power three over distance, and for distances greater than 1 λ, it diminishes exponentially to the power two over distance.
The horizontal line at 41.25V/m marks the "safety limit value".
For the maximum permisisble transmission power in accordance with ETSI (2W ERP), the "safety distance" d = 0.24 m. This means that personnel should not remain closer than 24cm to the transmitter antenna for extended periods (more than several hours without interruption). Remaining within the vicinity of the antenna for a brief period, even for repeated periods (at a distance < 0.24 m), is harmless according to current knowledge.

If the transmitter power is set lower than the highest permissible value (2 watts ERP), the "safety distance" reduces correspondingly.

2.3 Safety distance to transmitter antenna
Note
Reduced maximum radiated power with RF620R/RF630R readers
The SIMATIC RF620R (ETSI) reader has a maximum radiated power of 0.5 W ERP. The maximum safety distance is therefore 0.12 m.
The SIMATIC RF630R (ETSI) reader has a maximum transmitter power of 0.5 W. The radiated power therefore depends on the antenna cable and the type of antenna used, but must not exceed the 2 W ERP.
2.3.3Minimum distance to antenna in accordance with FCC (USA)
For the maximum permisisble transmission power in accordance with FCC (4W EIRP), the "safety distance" d = 0.26 m. This means that personnel should not remain closer than 26cm to the transmitter antenna for extended periods (more than several hours without interruption). Remaining within the vicinity of the antenna for brief period, even repeated periods (at a distance < 0.26 m) is harmless to health according to current knowledge.
The horizontal line at 41.25 V/m marks the "safety limit value".

The SIMATIC RF630R (ETSI) reader has a maximum transmitter power of 0.5 W. The radiated power therefore depends on the antenna cable and the type of antenna used, but must not exceed the 4 W EIRP.

SIMATIC RF600 is an identification system that operates in the UHF range. UHF technology supports large write/read distances with passive tags.
The SIMATIC RF670R reader and RF660R reader (write/read devices), fitted for example on the gate of a warehouse, automatically record every movement of goods, and signal these to the host systems. The data are filtered and compressed there by data management software at the control level in order, for example, to generate the receiving department transaction for the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system at the business administration control level. Atthesametime,thedeliverycanbeautomaticallycheckedforcorrectnessandcompleteness prior to storage by means of the electronic delivery list.
The general automation and IT structure of a company is shown in the following figure. This comprises several different levels that are described in detail below.

●Production control
The Manufacturing Execution System (MES) closes the gap between the data that arise in the automation environment (control level) and the logistical and commercial processes of the company (business administration control). MES solutions are used, for example, for defining and performing production processes.
●Business administration control
This level covers planning and control of the equipment used. For this purpose, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and Supply Chain Management (SCM) systems are used with modules for cost accounting, financial bookkeeping and personnel management.
●Global integration
Product information can be exchanged here at an inter-company level. This can be performed over the Internet with the help of special services.
RFID (radio frequency identification) permits interruption-free tracking and documentation of all delivered, stocked and shipped goods in the incoming goods, warehouse, production logistics and distribution departments. A small data medium - referred to as SmartLabel, transponder or tag - is attached to every item, package or pallet, and contains all important information.Thedatamediumreceivesthepoweritrequiresviaanantennawhichisalsoused for data transmission.
